Can't Let Go (23 page)

“You’d better believe it.”  He smiled again, trying to hide the whirlwind of emotions rushing through him.  “And you’d better believe that I’m going to spoil that grandchild you’re carrying around.”  Abby laughed, standing on her tiptoes so that she could kiss her father’s cheek. 

“You’re going to be almost as good a grandpa as you are a dad.” 

The music began to play then—the familiar wedding march, signaling it was time.  Abby looked up at her father and smiled once more.  “Shall we?”  He asked, and her only response was a smile.

The wedding was being held in the backyard of the home that Logan had built—Abby’s dream home.  There were flowers everywhere—lilies and lilacs.  She and her father stepped outside, following one of the wraparound porches to the backyard.  It was a very basic set-up—white chairs set up so that they were staring directly at the gazebo.  Abby’s eyes roamed over the crowd, seeing only familiar faces. 
Family, friends—the people who mattered most to her.
 

And then she lifted her eyes, finding his.  Logan’s eyes roamed over his future, soaking it all in.

He couldn’t ask for anything more. 

This time, when his eyes met hers, and he saw everything she wanted for the future—he was not flooded with fear or sadness.  Instead, all he could see was hope. 

Bright and shining hope—a future radiating with happiness.
 

It was everything they could ever have wanted.
